			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa
sallahu wa salam ala nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi. He may be vanilla Today we will be
going over the 15 Jews. We ask Allah Allahu Allah to grant us all the ability to benefit from the
stories in the form an
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:46
			interesting is, as we know, the 15th Jews is roughly halfway in the Quran. And what was interesting
going through all these edges, every single Jews has a detailed story or a few details story, except
for the Jews were allegedly element mainly Miss Saigon. Salam aleikum.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:30
			Wa Alaykum wa salam ala lavaca How are you? hamdulillah How are you? I hope you're well.
Alhamdulillah well, hamdulillah everybody else was following are all well, Alhamdulillah we've
reached the 15th of June inshallah we'll discuss the 15 Jews today. And, you know, it's been very
interesting as we've been going over these stories throughout the days, I think what stood out for
me, which I didn't really know is that in every Jews, this so many stories mentioned in detail,
except for the Jews, there's more halal and haram mentioned. And I think that just shows us the
importance of you know, stories, knowing about stories, telling people stories, especially stories
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			from the Quran.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:56
			Yes, stories from the Quran. Absolutely amazing. I find that you know, you can tell another story,
but it will never be like that, which is from the Quran because you know that this is true, and it
really happened. So, knowing that really gives you a lot of peace, and it gives you the ability to
understand that I can implement this in my life.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:40
			So Han Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah grant us all ability to implement the lessons derived from these
stories in our lives. When we look in the 15 years we find the very first Surah Surah Allah, Allah
Allah Allah makes mentioned in the very first verse about Islam, we all know the messenger,
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was taken from Makkah to baitul Maccabees from there he was taken
up. And then he was given the Salah, and he saw certain things in general, he saw certain things in
jahannam. on this journey, he went with gibreel Ali Salaam. So in the very first verse, Allah
Subhana, Allah speaks about this a lot. And in the surah in a few places, he also touches on it. I
		
00:02:40 --> 00:03:24
			think there's a few lessons to take from, you know, the whole story or the whole event of Elissa.
One of them being the messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he went on this journey, and he was
given the biggest gift, after, you know, after belief in Allah for himself, as well as this oma and
that was Salah. And I think it's very important for us to realize, you know, the whole, the whole
reason for this is raw and Miraj after that, because the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
given the Salah, so many times we talk about, you know, the Islam and the mirage. And, you know,
sometimes we we go about it in a way, we were not really focusing on the main point of it, and that
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:34
			is performing our Salawat and, you know, doing our extra Salawat, even voluntary salah and before
that, at least, our compulsorily Salawat. So I think that's very important to mention.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:04:07
			It's absolutely the entire story. A lot of the scholars when they speak about it, they always
mentioned the Salah, the aspect of salah and how it was in Los Alamos called up to receive the
instruction of Salah, whereas with the rest of the outcome, they all came down to the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So he actually went up to receive from us and what Allah de Sala which
was ultimately a gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala to him, and this is how the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam treated the Salah
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:50
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Another interesting point to mention is in this you know elevation of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam not only physically, but also we find his status, he was the
best of creation, a legend of Allah refers to him this verse of Hannah Levy, Asahi Abbe de, a legend
of Allah is the one who took you know, his servant, his slave, and some of the scholars mentioned
that he was elevated. Not only this physically, physically, but also you know, he's the best amongst
everybody when he or because he is the most complete when it comes to this idea, and worshipping and
submitting to Allah Subhana Allah so if there's anything we take from it, you know, if you want your
		
00:04:50 --> 00:05:00
			level to be raised, especially in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala Because ultimately, that's
what matters. You need to improve your worship you need to improve your relationship.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			with Allah.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:13
			Yes. And you know how Allah subhanho wa Taala says that he was moved from Mecca to Corona from
baytril Kalam, Elon Musk, these two
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:58
			must be done in within one night and up into the heavens up right up to the seventh heaven and to
see Dr. moonta. And he came down and his bedding was still warm in one of the generations it makes
mention of how his bedding was still warm. This is possible for a loss of kind of water Allah and
more than this, we need to understand that anything and everything is possible for loss of animal
what Allah Some people believe that it was a dream that is one of the opinions. But the more correct
opinion is that this really did happen. And if we can believe that, Allah subhanho wa Taala can
cause a man to die for 100 years and then bring him back and let him see the signs etc. Then this
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:11
			is, you know, not impossible for loss of mortality, it's more likely in the case of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam that it can and did happen for him.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:19
			Pamela, as you mentioned, Chevron as anything else you'd like to mention on this story before we go
to the next story in Soraka.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:59
			I think we move on inshallah. inshallah, I think one more point to mention is that when the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then returned with this news that he had gone to bait will
mark this, and from there he went, he was given the Salah, etc. The people didn't want to believe
there was one man who believed him, you know, without asking a second question without a second
guess. And that was the default a loved one. And it's mentioned that one of the reasons for him
being called a Cydia, it was from this instance, and again, we mentioned it's important to read
about this great companion, the best person to have walked the earth after the messengers that ambia
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:43
			added him salatu salam. Moving on, we go on to Surah two calf, Allah, Allah Allah in the surah
mentions at least three amazing stories in detail. He speaks about the people of the cave. He then
speaks about Moosa and hibel or how they alayhis salaam, whether he was an abbey or pious man is a
difference of opinion, they and after that he speaks about Volkov named an amazing Surah An
interesting surah so many lessons we can derive from it. The very first story, Allah Allah Allah
mentions is the people of cave in grief, these people, or these young boys or young men were in a
community where they weren't worshipping Allah, and they eventually fleet with their team, they
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:22
			wanted to worship Allah, they reached a cave. And in this cave, Elijah lavalla caused them you know,
go to sleep for so many years. Eventually, they woke up. So it's as though the story is mentioned.
And it says though, the people of the book before also had a bit of knowledge when it came to the
story or carry. That is why they asked the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I think there's a
lot we can mention when it comes to this story. One of them being look at how these young boys, you
know, so many times when people are young, they search for the truth, as the city mentioned, it's
not, you know, 100%
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:59
			correct to 100%, that it's only young people who look for the truth, that's not there is also older
people will look for the truth. But generally, you find people when they're younger, they're
stronger, they have more energy, they want to go out and search for things, they're not really happy
with any explanation you give them to say that this is like this, because, you know, we learnt it
before, they really want to know a lot more. So allegedly, while I mentioned these young men who
went out and they left the community they were in. So where there was false hood where Allah Allah,
Allah was being disobeyed, they lifted and went out and as they went out a larger lawanna on them
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:46
			is absolutely, you know, you mentioned something very important and interesting as well, that it's
the youth a lot of times that are searching and looking. So they end up questioning, and at times,
they are the ones who end up implementing change, because the elderly and older will be the ones who
remain in the old habits and in the old ways, and they won't want to change in a rush, because
they're used to doing something a certain way. And they're setting the habits at that age that the
youth are the ones who question and then ultimately ended up bringing about some change. So I think
that period of that teenage period and beyond that, when a person is still young is a good
		
00:09:46 --> 00:10:00
			opportunity for them to change something and to to make a change and an impact in the world. When
they have a peak the mental physical abilities capabilities, they're at the peak at that time.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:14
			Rather than being, you know, stuck in a, an educational facility, or something of that nature, I
think we need to rethink our entire strategy as to how people go about the lives all together.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:49
			You know, you mentioned such an important point. And sometimes as young people, you have a lot of
energy. But it's also important at the same time to benefit from the wisdom of those who are older
those who have gone through life. So I think there is a balance. And you know, ultimately, at the
end of the day, you will learn from here and there in every way, then you try to, with the help of
Allah to bring whatever you've learned together and implement is the main thing and you're more
likely to implement a lot of things and do something new or trying new things, when you're younger.
And Allah has given you the energy as well, when you're much older, you've got children, you know,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:33
			you've settled down it becomes a bit more difficult, but it's not impossible. Another interesting
point mentioned in the story, as the office setting, you know, they they speak about, they see that
these people they had a dog with them. And Allah Allah Allah then mentions this dog in the Quran,
what can go home from there it bill was seen described in the stock, how it was sitting with them in
the cave, and it also went to sleep probably. In other it also speaks about the number of people and
their dog of the city mentioned a very interesting point. And they say that, you know, this dog was
mentioned in the Koran and honored when it accompany that group of pious people, a group of good
		
00:11:33 --> 00:12:13
			people. And also it, you know, attain little bit of the virtue of these pious people it was
mentioned in the Quran, it went out with him. And I think if this is what the dog What about when it
comes to human beings, when you accompany those who are good, those who are pious, not only do you
benefit, but even in law that is good company for you. The messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
gives an example of the one who has good companies like you know, he goes with his hamburger misc,
the one carrying a perfume of musk. If he's not going to give you some of this perfume, at least you
cannot smell very nice. And you know, those who are around you, those who you mix with, they
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:36
			eventually be vanilla shape your life and shape the person who you're becoming to. That's why I did
something interesting. They say if you want to look at the person who you are, look at the five
people who you mix with the most generally you that type of person, the bad habits they have, you
usually have if they have good habits, you'll find that those good habits end up rubbing onto you.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:54
			Yes, well lucky, I didn't think of that aspect at all. It's a brilliant analogy, you know, and
extraction from the earth. So the dog was, you know, benefiting from the companies out of love. And
that's something that's amazing, a dog being a dog being what it is.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:13
			Even though it was what it was. So, what I find amazing is that Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about
Fabiola nyla. And then he can be seen and other than that we struck upon the ears
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:50
			in the cave, so that they would sleep, you know, the interpretation is that so they would sleep for
many years. So why the IRS? You know, why is Allah subhanho wa Taala talking about the IRS here,
because when a person wants to attain peace, then generally if there's noise around them, then they
can't sleep until that noise has subsided. So Allah subhanho wa Taala covered the ears, right, or he
struck upon the ears until they went to sleep. So in your life as well, when you find yourself in a
situation with
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:35
			so to speak, there'll be no peace in your life, so to speak. So if you've you hearing too much of
negativity all the time, people telling you that you're not worth it, you can't do it, you're not
able to do so they are always putting you down, and there'll be no peace in your life and you won't
be able to achieve something from your life. But rather than listening to them all the time and
paying attention to what they say, you know, don't close your ears physically, but block them out.
And then once you've blocked out all the negativity, then you can actually benefit and move forward
in your life. I'm not saying that all criticism or criticism is negative. Some criticism is good and
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:44
			you need it and you know, sometimes we all need a stem reminder to come back to the right path etc
or to be set on the right track. But
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:59
			negativity is really something that can actually eat away and sap away at your success. So try to
block out that which you feel is really negative of no use to you
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			Have no benefit, and you will find the peace and with that peace inshallah you will be able to
progress and proceed in your life. You know, you mentioned such a powerful point and that is
blocking out the noise in your life, especially if you want to achieve, you know, will always be
somebody who has that comment to something to say, and if they could say about Allah Himself, and
the messengers ambia Allah him Salatu was salam, what about, you know, us. And we also make
mistakes. As you mentioned, we also need criticism or constructive criticism. But you know, if you
carry on with this, then you usually don't achieve, you end up fighting too many battles that you
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:20
			can't handle. And it's like a wave that just comes and takes everything in its path, you can't
really fight it, you'd rather go with it. Another interesting point, I find when people speak about
this topic of negativity, and noise, I think when people are occupied with something which they're
really passionate about, which is of benefit, if you really invest in it, usually you won't have
time to look at that negativity and noise. Yeah, sometimes you do get it, but you won't really
concentrate on it as much, because you've got bigger things in life and you busy. Remember your
time, the time you have, the way you use this time, you know, some people use this time to go
		
00:16:20 --> 00:17:00
			through every comment or every you know, every criticism and praise. Also, another important point
is we've come to a stage in life or a time in life where, you know, there's so much praise being
given out sometimes just one bad thing we already get upset about it. So especially on social media,
is that balance is usually not there. So I think it's important, you mentioned that if you want to
achieve something in life, you've got to block out the noise. And even if it's the bad noise, yes,
but also sometimes the good noise so to say, so you don't rest on your laurels. You don't think that
Okay, you've achieved and there's nothing more to get to
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:28
			guess what, like what well expounded me. So there needs to be a balanced 100% where a person is, you
know, not only list a blocking everything up and listening to the constructive criticism, etc. You
know, Allah subhanho wa Taala also says what easier to sell to mobile Mama, I will do a lot of
little care and when you have withdrawn from them, and that which they worship other than Allah,
animal and Adam. So
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:39
			these youth were ready to have an entire change in the lifestyle in order to achieve the happiness
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:39
			just and they've remained the same. In that case, don't worry about it, carry on change your life,
and do what you've got to do. These people were ready to move into a cave and live their entire life
behind them. It said and it's mentioned in literacy that from amongst them were people who are from
the hierarchy of society, they were, you know, from literally, so to speak from the leadership of
society. And now all of a sudden, they've become hermits, so to speak in us in a cave, they are
hermits, but they didn't mind being heavens wide, because they are with Allah subhanho wa Taala. And
you see these doors that they making these interior, we all benefit economic calamity. And well, he
		
00:18:39 --> 00:19:17
			lent me a millionaire, I shudder that all luck give us mercy and guide us to the righteous path or
the right path. So always ask a lot, some kind of what Allah for goodness. And I find that when
people do are in this type of situation, initially, they go through a lot of hardship. This is
especially true for the reverse and convert, they go through a lot of hardship, but then after that
comes a lot of ease Allah subhanho wa Taala is literally testing them. Are you going to carry on?
Are you doing it for the people? Are you doing it for Allah Subhana Allah now, I'm not in that
position. So I'm not wanting to speak about the, the hardship and the difficulty. But this is
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:22
			something that they take, they can take a lot of solace from a story like this.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:20:00
			Yes, what she was mentioning is that ultimately, when you want to do something and look at these,
you know, these young boys, they wanted to stick to their belief, even though there were some people
from the hierarchy, the higher up in society, they put their lives on hold, they left everything and
they ran away into a cave and they spent so many years they afterwards and this shows you that
especially you know, we find what the reverts when they come to Islam, you will be tested. You know,
I had one of my neighbors mentioning, he said that when you come to Islam, Subhana Allah, He says
you will be tested. And he mentioned his story and you find that that's a common thing.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			It's not always very but a common theme amongst people who then come into sample even people who are
Muslims, but who want to become practicing, you find a lot of tests you. And he says it says though
Allah is testing your sincerity. So we should keep that in mind and carry on with the story of the
people of the cave, you know, in some head if it is mentioned that the soraa should be read every
Friday and I think one of the reasons for that is that you could ponder over all these stories,
amazing stories, you know, young men running away with their deep into the cave, they die for so
many years, or they put to sleep for so many years and then come back to life. Pamela. Moving on to
		
00:20:38 --> 00:21:19
			the next story. We find the legend of Allah He speaks about Musa alayhis salaam, again Musa alayhis
salam is mentioned in an yet another verse of the Quran, another chapter of an amazing story of Musa
alayhis salaam, this time, it's not to do with fear around, it's not to do with mental ill as a
whole. Rather Musa alayhis salam after being asked by his people as mentioned in some of the Hadith
that Who is the most knowledgeable? He mentioned himself because he was a newbie, a newbie of Allah,
Allah, Allah. Then Allah gave him ye to say that he is somebody who has knowledge which you don't
have, but it was Ali Salam do, did he become arrogant? Did he you know, say that? No, he doesn't
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:59
			know or did he say that? Okay, whatever he knows, I know masala his salam, he got all his things
ready. And he got one of the boys to come with him is mentioned, it's usually been known. And they
went to looking for this man. And the scholars derived from this as the amount of Ohara Allah
mentions in his here. This shows us that, you know, you should go out to mushroom iya basically
means it's encouraged to you allow, it's permissible to go out to seek knowledge, especially solid
Islamic knowledge. And this was the practice of not only the MBR, as we see Musa alayhis salaam
going to learn something new. It was also the practice of Sahaba of the loved one who is mentioned
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:35
			that what their love language just for one Hadith, he traveled a whole month to go and get the
Hadith and then he came back. So I think that's, that's something very interesting. Another
interesting point is that if you've learned in a certain, you know, the confines of a certain
society or community, let's say you've benefited from everybody there, you've got quite a bit of
experience. So many times, you'll be completely unaware of what goes on somewhere else in the world
will never mind somewhere else in the world, a community that's a few kilometres away from you. And
I think one of the things or one of the benefits when you travel, especially to seek Islamic
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:52
			knowledge is you learn that it's it's not you didn't know everything, basically, you are not
encompassing of everything, what you knew was very little, there may be other opinions, other ways
of seeing the same must Allah and all of these ways are in conformity with the plan and sooner
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:27
			or later so true, this Those are some powerful points. How musala salat wa salam actually traveled
in order to gain some knowledge. Solid point there. And exactly, you know, sometimes a situation or
circumstance, let alone You know, you've mentioned a community that's further than us, sometimes
your neighbors you don't know what's going on in the home, and you don't really understand it, we
assume that we do. So lots of animal what Allah knows best. And sometimes we are unaware and make
judgments and decisions based on that,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:24:11
			you know, unawareness, so to speak, so to speak. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, What a fantastic
little island and we have Cobra Wei, Musa alayhis salat wa salam had requested that I want to join
you, I want to come with you. And he says that how will you have patience on upon that which you
have no knowledge of. So this teaches us that when we have no knowledge of something, then it's most
likely that we won't have patience on that. Because we don't understand what's going on. As human
beings, we crave a reasonable understanding of something, we want to know what's going on. We need
to make sense of something. So when we don't and we can't make sense of it. And as we see later on
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:55
			mossadegh salatu salam didn't have the patience. This is a what why are you killing the young boy?
And then why are you you know, making a hole in the boat, etc. So and later on when he even helped
the boys build the wall up once again. He says, you know, these people refuse to help us yet you
helping them build up this worldwide. So he didn't have patience upon that which he had no knowledge
of. So even us in our lives when we don't have knowledge of something sometimes we have no patience
over it. You don't know what's really happened. And you have no patience, you blow your your fuse,
so to speak, you know, you lose your temper. You become angry at something, not to say that musala
		
00:24:55 --> 00:25:00
			in salatu salam did but you become angry at something yet. You did it.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:14
			really understand what was going on you didn't fully grasp the situation. So the lesson would be to
learn and fully understand the situation before coming up with a conclusion and reacting or
responding to it.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:56
			You know, as you mentioned, okay fantastico Allah managed to hit the Cobra. The more you know, well
known meaning of this verse is about knowledge. Another lesser known meaning of this verse is Cobra
here. Another way of interpreting it is Cobra could also come from Ebola. People meaning experience,
though how they have hidden at a salon is telling Musa alayhis salam, how can you be patient when it
comes to something that you have no experience about? And I think this teaches us that, you know,
when you have knowledge, so many times, you don't really know how to, you may not have the
experience in implementing this knowledge. So learn from people who have experience in the field,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:25
			not only Islamic knowledge, other knowledge, also worldly knowledge, you may have read so many books
or, you know, you may have gone through university, you have a degree, ask anybody who's been
through this system, so to speak, they will tell you, when you get to real life, it's completely
different to what's in the books. And that's where this experience comes in, if you don't have the
experience, and obviously you won't be patient, and the experience with the knowledge, you know,
it's a combination, even a lot you achieve a lot.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:44
			This is the beauty of the salon. I mean, you know, I use the same verse to extract something, you've
used the same verse to extract to a different point altogether, yet it's the same text that Allah
subhanho wa Taala These are the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala that he spoke. So it's the Quran is
so full of
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:52
			different, you know, points of benefit that we can achieve and really implement in our lives.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:23
			As you mentioned, so rightly, Sharon, is there anything else you'd like to mention? Or Yes, okay.
Yes, yes, actually. So, there were a few points. Let me just revisit him. So, later on, we, later on
when mousseline salatu salam he goes they moved right Allah subhana wa autolysis they moved after
either la COVID-19 is Tama letter, and they came to a village and they asked the people for some
food
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			it stopped at my little cottage stop I'm gonna forget
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:46
			it stopped for about a year the format so they refused to be hospitable to them. However, the data
you read with a comma so they found a wall that wanted to fall, so they straightened up at work. So
mousseline Salatu was Salam asks him that you know
		
00:27:48 --> 00:28:34
			how can you how Why did you do this yet they refused to to help us they refuse to even be hospitable
to us. So the message is that you know, you always do good to people even if they are not good to
you try and help them try and do good to afford for them because from amongst they may have been
people that were good and even evil and bad people that don't really help you in your life try to do
goodness towards them try to be tried to have a big heart and understand that perhaps they may have
been in the wrongs you know, scenario or situation or circumstance at the time they make excuses for
them, try and be as good as possible. Because ultimately, what you do is going in your scale of good
		
00:28:34 --> 00:29:15
			deeds and what they do will go in the scale of deeds. such an important point you mentioned you
know, it's it's so difficult but even with that, oh faith of Allah and with practice, you would find
yourself being able to do good no matter what, even if it's to people who haven't really done good
to you. Another interesting point in the same verse, maybe I think you would have touched on it is
one of the reasons he mentioned that he straightens The world is what kind of Abou marsali has, and
they father was a pious man, some of them are faciliate mentioned that this shows us that a father
who's pious, who you know, who fears Allah who follows his instruction etc. Be even in love even a
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:53
			lot. The children are also protected. Yes, they are people who are exception to the rule, we find
the son of no Halley's Salaam, etc. However, usually you will find that when there is a family,
especially a good family and those who are pious, here we find the Father has passed away but Allah
protects the children and he protects that wealth for the children. So I think it's very important
for us you know, later on you become parents or you worried about your children sometimes you have
to fix yourself first before trying to fix it you know your children or everybody else and be
vanilla after that. Yes, you try with him, but the pieces will come into place with Mila
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59
			is sorry just to correct myself earlier. I did say that masala is Salatu was Salam said
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00
			Why
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:44
			are you fixing the warrior? They refuse to be hospitable. But that wasn't his statement. All he said
was Carmelo should tell him to have Tyler he ajala. He said that if you wanted, you could have taken
some wage for this, you could have taken some reward for it. So to correct myself, because in the
view of Allah subhanho wa Taala obviously had the best of character and he wouldn't have been asking
him that, you know, why didn't Why are you helping or doing a good deed? Rather, he all he said is
that perhaps you could have taken a reward in return for the work that you have done to Panama. Now
you mentioned the story of Musa alayhis salam it just came to my mind that so far we've passed the
		
00:30:44 --> 00:31:17
			story of Musa alayhis salam on several occasions, looking at the story as a whole you would find a
lot of love Allah speaks about masala his alarm as a child when he was born. Elijah lo Allah also
speaks about him in the palace of Freetown after that, when he grew up, he speaks about his
marriage, he speaks about his difficulties, he speaks about this journey or this trip that he went
on to get some knowledge and experience an amazing, amazing surah. And definitely one of the best of
the best people to have walked this as Musashi, Salatu was center.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:32:00
			You know, late at the end where mousseline sauce was silences, or hidden alayhi salatu wa sallam
says that Philip will be new or Vedic, this is D Now the point of partying between me and you.
Meaning this a point at which a person can't carry on with you know, in this particular situation.
So some situations reach that point, when you've reached that point, then you should know that this
is the end of the road between me and you. And it happens you know, sometimes I receive messages
from people and this is not to say everybody is like this, but some people are so persistent and
insistent on some point and something and they carry on and they keep bothering you, etc. So I have
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:28
			a fear of obeying your baby If I don't respond to you. That is that is the you know, the separation
between us It doesn't mean that we hate each other or we have bad blood, it just means that okay, I
can't carry on beyond this point. So if this pious person reached that point, then who are we and I
think we can all benefit from this you know what I've sometimes certain relationships or certain
things can't carry on even though this goodness in them, they can't carry on It's okay. It doesn't
matter.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:50
			Part and move on. You know, you mentioned this this point in South Africa, I have a few Albania with
me. And earlier on allegedly wireless addressing the Messenger of Allah sallallahu wasallam You
know, when they were not the messenger, but the people amongst them were arguing about the dog and
how many people were there, this fella tomography him in LA Milan, who
		
00:32:52 --> 00:33:36
			basically don't carry on arguing and back and forth, some things are fruitless to carry on with. And
you know, if you put it so rightly that nicely, however, if you have to have a new baby, basically,
this is now the separation between myself and yourself. And then he still tells Musa alayhis salam
is his own Abu cabrita, we may start there. alayhis salam, basically, I'm going to tell you what you
are unable to be patient about another interesting point in the story, when he you know, he damaged
the ship. Because it's mentioned there was a king, who would take the ships that were in front says
what kind of wha hoo Malik. Wallah usually means behind. But in this instance, it means in front and
		
00:33:36 --> 00:34:16
			if you read the books in Arabic, you would find this referring to implant, a lot of the English
translations mentioned behind Elmo him, he says that, because this king was taking these ships, so
these boats, he tried to destroy a little bit of it. So if he saw it, he would leave it, he usually
wanted a ship that was as mentioned by some people who wanted to ship that was perfect. And some of
them were facility mentioned that sometimes or even the football, sometimes to destroy a part of
something, in order for the rest of it to remain them, this is allowed. And you will find that,
especially when it comes to business, again, this ship is talking about wealth he was saving there,
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:28
			well, he had to sacrifice a little bit of it to save the whole thing. And again, that's also looking
at the bigger picture. You know, sometimes you've got to deal in business dealing, in order to try
and save, you know,
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:46
			$5,000 let's say you want to go to court and you want to go through so many processes, you end up
spending, you know, 10 times more than that in order to attain something which you may not attain.
So there's a time where you have to sacrifice a little bit for the bigger picture or the greater
good.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:35:00
			What a powerful point I hate. That's amazing, Mashallah, yes, absolutely. I never thought of that.
as something that's just really come to light. You know, I think it's also important to mention that
the
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:11
			is to do with yours and what you have because obviously, if he knew that he knew the people, he knew
Allah subhanho wa Taala, we had some link with Allah subhanho wa Taala he had knowledge from him.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:38
			So we don't have that knowledge. So we can't go about other people's businesses destructive or
destroying theirs, or a property destroying this thing, it's for the greater good, that would be
wrong, because, you know, some people end up trying to literally play the the role of God by saying
that, you know, let me destroy this of this person. And ultimately, it would be better for him
because So, you know, just just to clarify that because really, you get all sorts of people out
there.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:59
			Yes, at the end of the day, you know, maybe if you use your own wealth, yes. Or you've been
appointed as a manager to see over this wealth, but it's someone else's wealth. And you know,
sometimes as you mentioned, there's no apparent thing and this guy says that you know what, let me
destroy his car because he may be going to comment center he didn't go to the mosque God, that's not
for you.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08
			Jeff, and I think we've lost you.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:13
			Yes, I keep disconnecting today, right.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:20
			Yeah, it's a little bit but Alhamdulillah I think we've had a good session. Is there anything else
you'd like to mention?
		
00:36:21 --> 00:37:02
			No, inshallah, I think we look forward to the story of the name tomorrow. inshallah tomorrow again,
we go over the story of a little town name then a legend of Allah mentioned Surah Maryam in Surah
Taha, a lot of stories mentioned in this use, or in these verses, I think it's important for us to
go over them ourselves take our time. And you know, we cannot cover every single part of the story.
We can't even cover the whole story, we just taking a pointer to a pointer to and we carry on, you
know, Alhamdulillah we benefit from one another and we also benefit from those who are following We
ask Allah Allah Allah to grant us goodness, Jeff and I shall we see you tomorrow.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:07
			Just like a lucky cinematic. I mean, we have
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:09
			to lie to you about that.
